Just to do one measly thing on a computer, they have to find a full
blown computer, connected to a functioning internet connection, running
a compatible OS, running a compatible browser, running a compatible PDF
reader, connected to a compatible printer, that is actually working, has
sufficient ink/toner and paper, and waste twice the amount of paper printing
single sided unless they get fancy and try to print double sided - which
always screws up! And pulling the computer out next year, everything will
be out of date.

Is any of that even possible on toy cell phones? If it is, the upkeep
needed to keep it working would be a zillion times worse than a desktop
computer.

Who even has a printer any more?

The whole idea of having paper is that SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT HAVE A COMPUTER
TO USE IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE!

Now paper users have to store this self printed mess. Long term storage
is part of the reason people want paper. They can refer back to the printed
ones years later without having to dig up an old machine.

I also hate to think of the people at the tax processing centers who
have to handle all kinds of random poorly printed forms. Streaky toner,
too light, odd paper size, or some wise guy who printed it on a dot matrix
printer.

So why not offer pre-printed booklets like federal government?

Oh, but that's not GREEN, why do you hate the planet!? Instead of making
us plant a few more trees, have a bunch of Chinese slave laborers assemble
a new electronic device using nonrenewable materials strip mined or pumped
from the center of the earth, just so you can use it once, throw it away
and buy a new one next year! A few sheets of paper are just so BAAAAAADDD
in comparison! (This message has been brought to you by Dell Computers)

Don't like it? Oh, well, I guess you can always PAY to have someone
else do your taxes for you.
